Seasons and Climates in Norway
Generally speaking, inland regions experience harsh winters with lots of snow and hot, comparatively dry summers, particularly in the east of the country. Coastal areas get generally moderate and wet winters, with snowfall in the mountains. In the summer, the temperature here typically hovers around 20 degrees. The Vikings are unafraid of the weather, rain or shine.
Rain or wind, Norwegians know how to dress for the conditions and will still go outside. But on stormy days, it is ideal to explore the big inside once again and get cozy and in the mood for some indoor innekos.
